Drone Photo From Rollin' Home RV Park in Nephi, Utah

[Fishin_Fool]

I don't post often in this forum, but, I love photography and RVing. I recently got back from a cross country trip. All 6121 miles of it. There's nothing better in my book than traveling and photographing some of what you encounter. Here is a shot of one of our campgrounds. This is in Nephi, UT. I sent this to the campground manager and he was super happy with it and may use it in advertising for his campground. This was one of the better campgrounds we stayed at. Very clean, well organized and off the highway enough to be fairly quiet. The views weren't too bad either.

That's a pretty cool shot. Though I must admit, it's a little strange seeing a campground with no trees. Most of my camping was all around trees, so it's kinda weird. But very clean and nice looking.

Cool shot. I assume from a drone. May I ask what model?

I'm assuming you haven't camped much out west. A lot of western US campgrounds have little/no trees. Some that we camped at had only small trees that didn't provide any shade to speak of during the hottest part of the day. If you're traveling through Utah and need a place to stop, I would highly recommend this place. It's called Rollin' Home RV Park. Nephi, UT.

Yes, it's from my drone. I have a DJI Mini 4 Pro. Very easy to fly with lots of features of the bigger drones. Perfect to travel with and you don't need to register with the FAA.

You would be correct. All my camping has been this side of the U.S. Mostly in Texas, but some outside the state. I haven't been in the western U.S. for much of anything except for some temporary duty in the Air Force, and some contract work as a civilian. In fact, New Mexico, Utah and Oregon are the only states I have not been in in my life. I have only been through Nevada (Las Vegas airport), but since I had feet on the ground, I'm counting it. And as it looks like my traveling days may be over, those three states are probably going to remain on my not been to list. Not how I wanted it, but there it is.

Well, if you've been in the Panhandle of TX, you would see there isn't many trees there either. We were just there a couple of weeks ago. Stayed in Amarillo for a couple of days and the approach to Amarillo from all directions is flat as a pancake and very few trees. It's kind of a boring drive through there. New Mexico, AZ, NV and parts of Utah are all the same way. Too bad you've never been to Oregon. I live here and it's a beautiful state. Eastern Oregon is high desert and western Oregon is heavily wooded and wet, mostly during the winter. Summers are outstanding with mid 80s daytime and low 60s at night. However, right now, Oregon is burning up with fires caused mostly by lightning.

Coyote Creek state park, NM a few weeks ago. Very near the devastating hermit's peak fire of a couple years ago.

Taken from a hiking trail east of the campground.

I've been close to the panhandle, but that has been many years ago, and just passing through. Otherwise about as far west as I've been has been Midland/Odessa. We lived in Abilene for a couple of years. My Dad retired from the Air Force there at Dyess AFB. But even then, we did most of our camping back at Possum Kingdom Lake. Dad so loved that area, and fishing below the dam in the Brazos River, that his wish was to have his ashes scattered in the river below the dam. We fulfilled that wish back in 2017 (we lost him in November of 2014). And the place where we spent so many weekends fishing has not changed one little bit since we were there back in 1972/73.

I truly regret not visiting Oregon and the other states I didn't get to. Who knows, I still have a few years left to have a chance. Maybe we'll get lucky.
